Matthew Ryan gives away free protest song

Singer/songwriter Matthew Ryan is following in the footsteps of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Ani Difranco and countless others, penning a full-fledged protest song. "Shook Down," which gives voice to Ryan's anger over corporate greed and the crumbling economy, is being released as a free download on the MySpace page of Ryan's new side project The Dead&nbsp;Satellites.

"Shook Down" marks the debut of The Dead&nbsp;Satellites, which also includes producer and long time member of The Wallflowers, Greg Richling and Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters. "It's a song about the economic narcissism of the insiders that lead to our current financial crisis," Ryan says. "The song is essentially calling for a coup, or at the very least,&nbsp;accountability."&nbsp;
